Sweater coats! Longer, and more coat-like, than cardigans. Not to be used in lieu of actual coats. We’ve done that, and rued the choice, more than once. In fact, we did that just tonight, with our Havaianas, and looked like big, roly-poly, sweater coat morons.
Doesn’t this model look totally impervious to the cold? It reminds us of that field where they planted that giant tree in the old Six Feet Under credits. Joie Roxy sweater, $295
We are not totally in agreement with the perspective that “this cardigan is perfect for any holiday occasion”, unless by occasion we are talking about sitting in front of the television because it is too cold to go outside. Which is, if we think about, how we spend most of the holidays, anyway. A+E cardigan, $49.50
We hate Abercrombie, but we admit we like some of their knitwear. But. That. Stupid. Moose! Argh. Cassie sweater, $79.50
This is really quite lovely and professional looking, no? Idaho cardigan from French Connection, $128
And this: We are not necessarily endorsing this. It’s a “cashmere peacoat sweater.” So it is super sweater-coat-y. It’s freaking us out a bit. We thought, at first, that it was just a cashmere peacoat, but it’s a cashmere peacoat sweater. We include this mostly as a question of interest, like when we called our friend K. to tell her about this meerkat we saw at the zoo. Cashmere peacoat sweater, $325
And again: Doesn’t this look rather bizarrely like an actual coat, rather than a sweater coat? Maybe it’s just us. All Wrapped-Up cardigan, $168
this is unrelated to your post, but in internet explorer, the blog section (as in the middle non-links section) is only about 150 pixels in width. it’s fine in firefox, but i just wanted to let you know.
Oh my God – I’ve been having the same problem as well – both in IE and AOL. When I look at the comments, however, the blog section is the right width.
Me too
ditto to the width issue.
Tss, we thought we’d resolved that. We know something’s up, we’re trying to fix it. If anyone can tell us actually how, please let us know!
What freaks me out even more than that cashmere number from J Crew is the number of fleece “pea coats” I’ve been seeing online. Cotton FLEECE “jackets” for well over $200, $300! I say if it’s fleece, it’s not a jacket or a coat, and it shouldn’t even hit the $100 mark.
While I think some of these cashmere fleece sweater jacket whatever things are kind of cute, I would have to agree with Andrea here. There is no freaking lining. It won’t be THAT warm. It should NOT cost $300. And what’s with J.Crew, banana, etc charging so much for their mass-produced clothing? Boo.
